1 Respondens autem Sophar Naamathites, dixit: 2 [Idcirco cogitationes meæ variæ succedunt sibi, et mens in diversa rapitur. 3 Doctrinam qua me arguis audiam, et spiritus intelligentiæ meæ respondebit mihi. 4 Hoc scio a principio, ex quo positus est homo super terram, 5 quod laus impiorum brevis sit, et gaudium hypocritæ ad instar puncti. 6 Si ascenderit usque ad cælum superbia ejus, et caput ejus nubes tetigerit, 7 quasi sterquilinium in fine perdetur, et qui eum viderant, dicent: Ubi est? 8 Velut somnium avolans non invenietur: transiet sicut visio nocturna. 9 Oculus qui eum viderat non videbit, neque ultra intuebitur eum locus suus. 10 Filii ejus atterentur egestate, et manus illius reddent ei dolorem suum. 11 Ossa ejus implebuntur vitiis adolescentiæ ejus, et cum eo in pulvere dormient. 12 Cum enim dulce fuerit in ore ejus malum, abscondet illud sub lingua sua. 13 Parcet illi, et non derelinquet illud, et celabit in gutture suo. 14 Panis ejus in utero illius vertetur in fel aspidum intrinsecus. 15 Divitias quas devoravit evomet, et de ventre illius extrahet eas Deus. 16 Caput aspidum suget, et occidet eum lingua viperæ. 17 (Non videat rivulos fluminis, torrentes mellis et butyri.) 18 Luet quæ fecit omnia, nec tamen consumetur: juxta multitudinem adinventionum suarum, sic et sustinebit. 19 Quoniam confringens nudavit pauperes: domum rapuit, et non ædificavit eam. 20 Nec est satiatus venter ejus: et cum habuerit quæ concupierat, possidere non poterit. 21 Non remansit de cibo ejus, et propterea nihil permanebit de bonis ejus. 22 Cum satiatus fuerit, arctabitur: æstuabit, et omnis dolor irruet super eum. 23 Utinam impleatur venter ejus, ut emittat in eum iram furoris sui, et pluat super illum bellum suum. 24 Fugiet arma ferrea, et irruet in arcum æreum. 25 Eductus, et egrediens de vagina sua, et fulgurans in amaritudine sua: vadent et venient super eum horribiles. 26 Omnes tenebræ absconditæ sunt in occultis ejus; devorabit eum ignis qui non succenditur: affligetur relictus in tabernaculo suo. 27 Revelabunt cæli iniquitatem ejus, et terra consurget adversus eum. 28 Apertum erit germen domus illius: detrahetur in die furoris Dei. 29 Hæc est pars hominis impii a Deo, et hæreditas verborum ejus a Domino.]
